The theme was to craft something that could be entered into one of State Fairs' sanctioned categories. I knitted a hat that could be entered in the Needlecraft category. The free pattern, Edgewater Tam, is by Elizabeth McCarten; I used a ball of Brown Sheep Nature Spun Worsted and needles sizes 4 (3.5 mm)US and 8 (5.0 mm)US.
